Mövenpick Resort & Spa Tala Bay Aqaba

Resort

Pros: More natural beauty than other resorts in Aqaba City. Quiet and peaceful beach. Love the Italian restaurant. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of adult and kid friendly entertainment on-site. Cons: Check-in/out process took way too long. The swimming pools are not heated. Lots of rocks on the beach, difficult to go barefoot in the sea. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely return!

Top location. Super breakfast Staff molto gentile.

A well appointed hotel with everything you might need. Very comfortable rooms, lots of space and great facilities. The numerous swimming pools, bars and restaurants provide a great choice. Perfect beach access. Lovely spa, great gym. Highly recommend.

This is my second visit and the hotel is still great 👍 good service and atmosphere for the family and the kids with a good break fast and dinner.

The best hotel in all respects.

Beautiful location, great house, very good service.

I love to spend my holidays with you, a very nice and beautiful place. I and my family thank you for your kind treatment to us.

A very beautiful place with great service, family activities with distinction, very beautiful swimming pools, a beautiful beach, the staff team is wonderful and helpful, I especially mention Mr. Omar Raslan for the wonderful follow-up to the guests and the generosity and hospitality.

Highly recommended hotel we enjoyed our stay.

Nice and clean place. Friendly staff. Positive atmosphere. Thank you.

Bad customer experience with some of the employees from the hotel.

The atmosphere was great! All the personal were friendly & food was amazing. Thank you for the services!

Excellent service. Very cheerful and courteous staff, always helpful and smiling even during crowded times Excellent food, many varieties. The menu for kids is good The chef has in-house organic garden for those who want organic foods. Several Spacious swimming pools, lazy river, a water slide. The beach is clean and easy to find chairs. My family and myself had such a very good time and a relaxing vacation. Thank you to whole staff esp chef Mohammad Alqam and his team.

Wonderful hotel especially for family, great pools, nice beach, good food.

Amazing for family This place is totally different With great staff starting from the best receptionist team they were very helpful and friendly The rooms are very clean and santaized a lot of kids activities and the service at breakfast was super Will tell everyone how my kids were wishing to stay longer Thanks for Mr. Omar Raslan who was taking care of us all the time Thanks Movenpick Talabay.

The customer service is very good and I wanna thank our waiter fadal and the chef bakar; I really recommend it. One of the best tala bay I been in. 👍🏻🤍

Movenpicks hospitality was beyond excellent and higher than my expectations. It’s one of the best hotels by far. I loved it and definitely will be back. It’s beautiful, the staff is amazing and very welcoming. Breakfast was excellent as well. Lots of activity’s for everyone to do and lots of activities for the kids as well. Rooms are very clean and has everything you’d ever need.

The Most Beautiful Place in Jordan and the employes was very kind💯💯

I thank the hotel staff for their kindness. It is nice to start your trip with the smile of the guard at the gate. Unfortunately, I do not know his name. As for the rest of the crew, they are very kind, especially the employee Mahmoud Rahal, who met us for two days during breakfast.

It’s a place where you simply can feel home, relax and enjoy quiet time away from city noise. What makes it unique is the comfy architecture and layout surrounded by diverse of trees and plantations with minimum concrete around. Simply it’s a resort to scape the city life to beach life.

We were visiting the hotel for 3 nights on HB, excellent service, great food and the place was very clean. We are recommending, the neighbours from israel!

They put me in a room that smells of sewage! One waiter to serve the pool and beach. The drinks taste like crap not sure where the bartender got his training! Do not stay in this hotel it is run down, service is a disaster and the rooms smell and are dirty.

It was a memorable stay at Mövenpick resort. We enjoyed the beach and the pools. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, professional treatment from
reception to waiters at breakfast lounge to housekeeping,. We had a balcony with a fantastic view (photo below) Also the rooms are extremely clean and the pillows are very comfortable ♥️. I would like to thank Mr (Muhannad Al Shareef) for his kindness… Special thanks for the Blossom entertainment team. It was unforgettable experience 🥰

Great hotel, delicious food and staff. Plenty of added rooms are excellent and comfortable. I like the winter pool very much, and I would like to thank the animation team for its good looks and elegance. I treat children well and will be back again. Thank you movinpick.

Had a great time with the family, the hotel is nice and clean. The staff is always smiling and saying hi. I also would like to thank Mr. Muhannad from the reception He was very helpful all the time.

It was a very wonderful visit. We enjoyed a lot with you. A wonderful team in terms of services, distinguished food, cleanliness of the rooms and a wonderful view. Special activities for children. All thanks to you all, a distinguished reception and wonderful times that we found at the Mövenpick team.

Nice causy, helpful staff, nice restaurant at beach.

Great services and comfortable staying. One of the great 5 stars hotels I have been staying in recently. They have a 24/7 services with fast action,, Also the food is good except that prices are a little high but it deserve it honestly. Mr. Sharif Ayyob has the most credit as he helped us with all needed steps and reservation procedure.

One of the best service I ever seen in the 5 stars hotel not only in Jordan. During covid 19 they are making sure everything is cleaned and sanitized. The restaurant service is also amazing and a special thanks for the restaurant manager Mr. Rani and the executive chef Mr. Mohammad Alqam
I enjoyed my stay to the max.

The service was perfect the food was so good rami nasser was too helpful.

Very recommended. It was amazing stay at all, excellent service, very clean, the staff was extremely friendly and hospitality, but I don't like the way breafast was served… special thanks to mr. TAREQ HLALAT for his very kindness and warm hospitality.

Great hotel and very professional staff from the check in counter to the room service… Special thanks to Mohammad Megbl from the main restaurant. BTW great food tasty and everyone serve you with a smile.
Thanks.

Very bad hotel I was last summer and omg the room was so dirty and the sheets are yellow and the lock of the balcony lis broken and the bathroom are so dirty and I have pictures on that with prove. Don’t go to this hotel.

Great accommodation, good room, helpfull staff, nice view and beautiful hotel.

A wonderful hotel deserves 5 stars the first time I visited this day and many are pleased with the management of employees and a thousand thanks to the movement manager Professor Nour arranged cleanliness something wonderful and went back to me and adopted in my visit to me and not my family a thousand thanks to all My kindness in dealing with the love of my children from the love of my children for her, and she has a smile and a style of madness, God bless you, my sweetest hotel in Aqaba.

It was a very wonderful experience. The services provided are excellent and Comfortable room. The cleanliness is not only in the rooms but in all the hotel places The hotel staff is very wonderful and upscale. I Wish another holiday in the same place. I would like to thank all those who have given me my congratulations on my marriage and thanks to your hotel for their honeymoon surprise InshaAllah, we are back …

You have great staff all round. I wish there were a no smoking area both outside in restaurant by one of the pools — smoking guests are very inconsiderate. Not a complaint but a pain, no mugs in our room or spoons to use coffee/ tea facilities. Then you need water to fill the kettle and 1 small bottle each isn't enough. Housekeeping issues, Mirror light was not working. Light on balcony till late is very annoying when you want to sleep with the door open : (No face clothes : (also a pain when you offer liquid soap but nothing to put it on. Overall, our stay and the meals were fantastic, actually excellent and again, your staff were all delightful. Thank you thank you for a great little get away from working in Amman. From Mrs Bacon (Carol)

Enjoyed this hotel so much that I am going to stay there again next week. Room: bed huge and very comfy. Pillows very comfy. Room where nice decorated, good bathroom, tea and kettle. Restaurant: breakfast interesting and tasty. Really good for vegetarians. Dinner was really excellent. Service really first class. Staff: friendly and interested in individual service. Location: not far from downtown but feels quiet and relaxed. Security: 24 hour security on front gate and safes in rooms. Thank you.

Five stars for the outdoor facilities — amazing set of pools, private beach and landscaping. Highly recommended for families. However the check-in was rather unfriendly and the room was missing towels: I had to call room service twice after which I managed to obtain only two single towels (still missing the floor mat towel and hand/ face towels). Also the rooms were rather unimpressive for the category of this hotel. Again: the outdoor facilities very impressive (hence the 5 stars). But the reception and quality of the rooms could be much improved.

Organized a surprise for my girlfriend birthday, the room setup and decorations were amazing, she was so happy! the staff in the hotel is really helpful and smiley, food is great and the facilities as well! I extremely enjoy my stay… However, being a chef, I can say the food overall was great in every outlet. Just in the breakfast buffet I would personally rely less on chafing dishes and more on live stations, and I would decrease the portions in the buffet in order to refill more often and keep the food more fresh. Amazing stay! Thanks everybody.

Great 5 — hotel, restaurants at the height, heated pool, slide pool. Territory! Green, well-groomed. Super!

The service is great, employees are so elegant and kind. I love the pools and all the outdoor facilities and entertainment, the rooms are great and comfortable. The hotel is near many pubs and restaurants around the marina. Special thanks to the receptionists. I had a great vacation! thank you!

Best hotel in Jordan and one of the best resorts in the world.

So there, this hotel only deserve 2 stars for its picines, reception service null, I reserve and pay on booking by my card and at the reception, surprise I am asked to pay cash because we did not withdraw the money, fortunately I had cash, Russian staff has the reception no smile, which is not a listen.

We arrived on 23th May. Recently started Ramadan and the hotel had very few people. Quiet in the restaurant on the beach and in the pools. The hotel is perfect. The service in the restaurant is very fast and very high quality. Egypt is resting. Mostly Filipino, they are very smiling and quickly all serve and clean the table. The food was excellent. Everything is well-groomed. The beach is clean too, the sea is warm, the sand, the entrance is good, the only drawback, corals almost no. Animators work in Russian, a lot of entertainment. Air temperature 38, water temperature 24. The real five, we advise everyone. Wi-Fi is available everywhere, even on the beach. There are a lot of free places on the beach, even in the shade at any time. The Chinese arrived. Peace has ended.

Great place! Very polite staff! Great location with a bunch of pools.

The hotel is nice. Cleaning every day. The food is good, calm atmosphere, friendly attitude of the staff, excellent work of animators. The beach is super. The staff was very friendly and helpful. A lot of Pool 3 Jacuzzis. I would like to be on the Ricepsheni Byali staff knowledgeable Russian language.

We really enjoyed our stay at Movenpick and will definitely return. The resort is amazing and the staff are very friendly. A few improvements: — Since we have small children we would prefer a bath and not a shower in the room. The kids kept slipping in the shower so it was a little dangerous. — The reception desk wasn't always available. When we called to request something, the line was sometimes occupied or no answer. — More shade in the pool areas. — Kids club was too expensive and empty of kids.

The hotel located in Tala Bay (about 20 min drive from Aqaba). The hotel is beautiful and have many features and facilities like 4 out door pools, direct beach access and much more. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only 2 downsides I can think are, the coffee was one of the worst I have ever tried, it was heavily diluted with water and had almost no taste, even when we ordered a cappuccino it wasn't so good. The second one is the restaurant's pricing, it was too high especially compared to the restaurant's in the marina 100m from the hotel. Overall the food was average (I did expect higher level of a 5star rated hotel) it was fresh with good variety.

Great service as usual but I have one minor complaint: The food is delicious, I ate so much, and as a result, gained a few pounds lool. Great place, delicious food, friendly staff and fantastic entertainment. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic stay and will return.

The ideal place to stay will be here. There are small minuses but they are covered by all the pluses. One of the only high-speed internet is worth. And the incredible cascade of pools in general is beyond competition.

This place is rated as a 5 star resort. It certainly deserves at least 10. The facilities are second to none. The staff is exceedingly attentive to detail and most anxious to attend to the needs of their guests. The grounds are incredibly scenic and especially serene in the evenings and mornings. This is a great place to recharge.

A very nice, well maintained, quiet, stylish hotel with a friendly atmosphere. Very good food, great choice! Rooms are large, clean, bright. The only wistful drop is the access to the sea: take slippers with you, because you have to go over rocks/rocks into the sea. The beach however is very nice. All around a recommended hotel for a holiday or a short stay.

Love love love this place! It's so clean and friendly the staff is extremely nice. Not to mention the big pool there is also a kiddie area for the young ones, a play area and a pool for the little ones! Breakfast was amazing! This is the view from our room! Gorgeous the rooms are big we got a room with 2 beds for the kids! Overall it's amazing and it's a definite choice if you are traveling to Jordan to visit Aqaba! I highly recommend this hotel!

Zara Spa was extremly good, beach was beautiful, though would have loved to see more dinning services at the beach. I got my reservation on the phone, which I was informed that once checked in I can change the room type and it will change the rate automatically, this did not happen as I paid for a regular room with sea view as I paid for a family superior room. That was a ripoff. overall the staff are good, the place is huge that you get lost, more clear signs to lead people to places would also be nice.

Very nice, clean and cosy.

First stay at the recommendation of a friend. I was surprised at the genuine friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. It is world's apart and superior to any I have experienced in my global travels. The physical layout and abundance of facilities and programs was also impressive — and everything was in tip top condition with cleaning and repairs ongoing. It felt like all your family were there to help you have the most relaxing experience possible. An example of this: I was sick the first two days of my stay and the staff noticed that my two friends were eating alone (who did they know there were three of us to start with) and asked if they should send a nurse to see me. Then when I finally emerged, all were asking how I felt and seemed to go even more out of their way to ensure I was taken care of. Very impressive and personal. Truly fell in love with them. The SPA — wow. Been to many all over the world and have to say this is one of the best. Clean, modern, all that a guy would want — and the massages were awesome — none better. Wish I had the time to try all the different types. The ladies did try numerous treatments and experienced the same pleasure and impression that I had. I will return as I missed out on the diving. Highly recommend this facility without reservation! Andrejs Auskaps.

Luxury and wellness at its finest.

Friendly staff and nice facility. Unfortunately, the entire hotel is smoked. Even when eating, no guest takes it into consideration.

Very nice hotel on the beach.
Everything you want.

The building is somewhat unattractive, but the facilities and services great. The staff fantastic, all of it
Although I left a watch, and have not found apparently, I would say that I had to be without a doubt in the bathroom.

This is my second stay at Movenpick Talabay. Although I enjoyed my previous stay in December 2016, I can see several improvements since my last stay that made this stay even more enjoyable and relaxing. The quality of food at the buffet has significantly improved. Our room was with very nice view and very clean the Dining area clean lobby very well organize and clean, shower area in my room and even in the public toilet very clean and Hygiene. Many thanks to everyone for the outstanding customer service. Last but not the least, many thanks to the teams members who made our stay even more enjoyable.

Beautiful resort. Good rooms. Awesome location. They have like 3 pools but all are so deep. There's no shallow end for short height people : (. Food is amazing!

Whether you’re going with your family or your friends this place is suitable for everyone. They have a variety of big pools. Actually one of the biggest in Jordan. Also it has very nice views. The staff are nice, the rooms are clean and neat. They should improve their food though. I didn’t enjoy any of what they offer which was sad. But over all I would come back.

Our little kids enjoyed this resort a lot. We couldn't but notice how many families with children were staying too in this resort. There are a lot of things for small ones to do and the staff was always friendly and accomodating to our needs. The Red Sea coast here is rocky so good grip shoes are recommended. There's a diving center were you can rent equipment and take courses. The breakfast and dinner buffet was very good with a great number of choices even for kids.

I really loved the hotel it was a nice experience Pools are heated and clean. In general staff were friendly but Jordanian Staff were more friendly than other staff. Check in was very good thanks to Mr. Amjad he helped us so much. Everything seems to be perfect but I was shocked when I saw a rat in the room then in the next day I saw it again, didn’t expect that from a 5 star hotel but the other standard room was fine. Food was awesome I really liked it. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Superb, one of the best hotels in which I went to Jordan.

I visited the Zara spa and it was a great experience. The Spa Manager Umi was very friendly and showed me around the Spa and the different facilities. It is a very relaxing environment especially in the winter which is the off season for the hotel. I will be back!

It was very upsetting welcome from the staff when I gave here my TEXAS ID Card she throw it back at me and said WE DO NOT ACCEPT THIS KIND OF ID CARD, I MUST HAVE YOUR PASSPORT. Rooms was not clean patio is very dirty, restaurant very low quality food.

A very decent hotel. The rooms are not shabby, the food is decent, the grounds are large and beautiful. As already mentioned, towels or robes bring after the third reminder. The beach is nice, but no changing cubicles. Entry into the water is rocky, coral shoes a must!

The first and best choice of visited Aqaba.

When you first see this place you'll think that it all looks amazingly beautiful, and is definitely true! Several amazing freshwater pools and one stretch of private beach down the Red Sea… is just a shame that the whole management and staff of the hotel is fairly poor. At the reception, the guy invited me to get an upgrade on the room (which sounded wonderful) but he forgot to mention that he was going to charge me for it… For some reason they make you pay in advance and later on it's impossible to add any other expenses to your room. The waiters at the buffet downstairs all seem overloaded with tasks and not very pleasant with the customers. It all sounds like little meaningless issues, but there's only so many that you can take before it starts becoming annoying…

Very nice area and place, the food is great and the sea view is nice. The staff is good but they should smile more. Thanks for the while staff.

Arrived at the Hotel at 6am, after a long journey, what we get? Sleepy staff on reception, no bill boy! In every hotel I’ve stayed which was rated 4 stars and above, there was always a person who helped with bags! Here be prepared that you will have to carry your bags by yourself, even if it’s 4 peaces, and you have no idea where to go, coz at “night” time, the outdoor lights not working. Moreover, if you are used to get sleepers and gowns at 5 star hotels, pass this one by. There are NO sleepers or bath robes. They provide only one set of towels for 3 visitors per superior family room. Deveststing movenpick dissaponting me. Staying at the hotel right now, by the end of my holiday will write more detailed review.

Recommendation: Great, you can recommend further.

Great, I recommend it to everyone, including families with small children.

In general it's a nice and cozy hotel. However, when booked one of the rooms I was surprised that I found a big bug in the top of the TV which was really disappointed in regard of cleaning the room. When I talked to the receptionist they changed the room directly with a better one but the furniture need to be upgraded as well. One more issue related to the shuttle buses, they have only one shuttle bus and during our staying it was not working so they bring another mini bus which is not serving the amount of people they want to utilize it.

Good location and facilities, service is not as good as before.

I like it. The Best place you can have fun with your family. When we arrived, the computer network system was down (no internet access from main supplier). The stuff was kind and nice, they made Chick in manually and stayed us directly. I would like to thank Mr. Rashid, he as very cooperative.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The beach is close. Wi-Fi was very comfortable. It's clean every day.

Service is 5 stars with southeast Asian staff. Rooms are 4 star. Food is 5 stars with vast choices. Pools are 4 star, but there are many.

We went there 23-27 June and was wonderful. Definitely would recommend. We have a 2 years old and she rely enjoyed her stay. Pools are awesome, very child friendly. Food was very tasty, good quality and super diversified. Rooms were very clean and well equipped. Will be back there soon.

Very nice resort with a beautiful view of the Red Sea and the Sinai. Don't miss the chance to swim in the Red Sea.

I think the best hotel in this place is (Tala Bay). There are pros and cons, but none the less: the best.

The room was clean and comfortable. It's clean every day. The food is delicious. The hotel is oriented towards the Arabs.

Great hotel with the only flaw of not having a real beach.

A fabulous country. Very calm and friendly people, even the Russians. There are not many tourists. Minus-a relatively high cost of rest.

Great facilities, nice staff, great location… It is equipped with a shuttle to the centre of Aqaba.

We have stayed here many times. Nada on reception always remembers us and we get such great service. We come back because it is the best place for our kids, staff are friendly and they try to ensure you have a good stay.

We were in this hotel a year ago and we have to say, I still miss you. Until 20 years ago, we obezdili all the countries and after where they weren't, but the Tala Bay was remembered for life. This warm service from Oteljatala Bay employees we haven't met yet. Especially in the restaurant of a waiter named Murad, children still vspaminajut and miss him.
The food was very good, as we were in the new Year and the Christmas and New Year holidays were prepared with special taste, and food and festive programs.

Good hotel resort at the lovely Tala Bay in Aqaba. Just a few miles from the Saudi border it looks across at Eilat in Israel and the eastern edges of the Sinai peninsula. The resort is expensive but has some nice restaurants and excellent pools. The spa is also very nice with reasonable prices for various choices of massage. The beach is also well kept and it has a variety of water sports on offer. Worth a visit.

Although the landscaping and pools were beautiful I was underwhelmed by my recent stay. Upon entering the property I thought we were in for a luxury, attention to detail experience, however that notion slowly started to fade as I entered the awkwardly laid out lobby and checked-in to my "family room" that had no bath tub, which makes no sense (but I was told all the family rooms are like this). The kids activity center was ok, but the fact that we had to pay to play there everyday even when we stayed with the children (which felt like we were being nickel and dimed)

Great diving experience with highly professional and friendly staff. Went diving with them during 3 days (including nightdive, total of 7 dives) visited very nice sites : 7 sisters was our favorite!

Excellent hotel on the shores of the red sea, the atmosphere and attention are spectacular. I went in 2010 and I hope to return soon.

Such a wonderful hotel to spend your holiday… everything about this hotel just perfect… the pools the restaurant the rooms everything just everything I have visited hotels all around the world and this one would be in my "A" list of the greatest hotels around the world…

This Center is great, the instructors are very professional, I would like to thank every person and particularly rabie el said who was very patient with me, keep it "bravo"

The best hotel in Tala Bay no doubt also has a shuttle free Aqaba Center or at the Movenpick hotel in the city. Total relaxation in the area, ideal after a week of intense circuit by Jordan, and fly back nothing better than the flight connection from Aqaba, thus always offer it.

Nice spot but more importantly very serious team, taking care of the equipment, always keen to help and to make your experience fantastic — Highly recommended.

The hotel location, the most interesting territory. If to compare with the other 5 mi he is the best on the coast. Food is diverse, coming to the restaurant eyes run — standing and тупишь. Especially beautiful at night, when lights are switched on.
